It depends on the reg. Most modern regs will keep up with modern guns. I have seen a few people use bad reg seats to try and get the reg to spike consistently, so it will climb past the sweet spot, and lower the velocity. You run into a couple of problems. First, since the reg is malfunctioning, out put will be inconsistent, the the velocity follows. Also, getting it to spike at the same rate to the same pressure is almost impossible. It can be done, but it doesn't work as well as they hoped for. Also, a smart chrono ref will shoot three shots fast, then chrono the gun on the fourth shot, so they may get caught anyway. : I was thinking a lot about sweetspots of regs and such, and I was wondering can (or do you think 'have') players set their regs to be just ABOVE the sweetspot so when they rapid fire the "shootdown" they get actually causes Velocities to Rise, maybe only slightly, but when you're pumping out the 15+ bps an electro cocker can do, ... anyway ... is this possible and do you think people are already doing it? : Not that I would do something like this ... : -Micah
